I no longer see a pathway where the ruination of this country can be blamed on incompetence or even rank stupidity. There’s no other explanation left for me now than a deliberate attempt to destroy this economy.”

It’s more complicated than what is presented here.
There are several parties involved, with different motives and expectations. I think Zero wants to collapse the country fiscally. He will advertise that “capitalism didn’t work, we need to move forward, and not go back to the old ways that didn’t work.” He will try to implement a new order of things, with him in power, of course. He is a classic demagogue.

The rest of the democrats are also leftists, or simply wish to retain power, riding on Zero’s coattails. They don’t care about collapse. They can’t see that far ahead, and pooh, pooh any rational talk. Rational talk means cutting spending, costing votes.

I don’t think most of his sycophants want or expect collapse. They’re too stupid to foresee that end. They simply don’t believe there is a problem, or disagree with conservatives on the cause of the problem. They believe in a utopic society where politicians solve all of life’s ills, where no one has unmet needs. They are willing to trade their freedom and persons for such security. They want “free” stuff. Of course, that drags the rest of us along with them.

Since the fall of the Ottoman Empire all of Europe has been struggling with governing their countries. The best they have yet come up with is Marx’s muddled philosophy of “tax and spend” and then redistribute the remainder. Sound’s pretty familiar, doesn’t it?
Only so many “Obama Phones” can be “redistributed” until the “well literally, runs dry.” In 2012:
White folks voted their entitlements. Black folks voted their EBT cards and other socalled “freebies!” Hispanics voted their newfound subsidized education, living and food programs, dependent children tax rebates. Asians voted their tax subsidies and income tax deductions and business deductions. Lo Income and tenement dwellers voted their living subsides.

Roughly some 95 million americans (who voted in 2012) were receiving some form of government assistance!!! That’s who voted for continuing this fool hardy “Santa Claus” mentality America’s taxpayers depend upon. The “well literally, runs dry.” A recent NBR survey (12/25/2012) showed more than 59% of America’s manufacturing capacity is now produced in businesses overseas…just think about this!!! “Burger-flipper” jobs are all that remain in continental USA. One needs a college degree to perform this type of work??? Get more from government entitlements than working. Pray. Amen. Marx’s muddled philosophy!!!
